Good luck finding one that covers you till the end AND is low on premium! The cheapest premiums are that of term insurance, and it is intended for such situations where you have taken measures to invest in other places such as real estate, equities, bonds, cash etc, AND you are not counting on earning any return on the premiums you have paid.

This insurance is plain and simple. You pay low for covering you for a certain period of time - 10, 20, 30 years.

Btw, if one is 35 years old and buys a 30 year term insurance, you are covered until the age of 65. What is your point?

It shows your knowledge about life insurance, go check it out on web for senior citizens quote and why life expectancy is beyond 65 and how to pass wealth to heir

Hopefully they might be waiting to approve both AP and 485 together. (I am thinking they might have taken the amount on AP already)

Take an info pass appointment to get more details if it is close to you.

Well I jumped a little too early :) and opened a SR in July. The following is the response I received:

================================================== ======== The status of this service request is:

The Service is waiting for VISA availability. Once a VISA becomes available allow additional time for your application to be reviewed by an Officer and you will be notified as soon as a decision is made ================================================== ========

It is less than 60 days old status now and hence cant open a SR for 1.5 months :)

BTW, it has been over 2.5 months now and my AP hasnt been approved yet :mad:

Even if its multiplied by 100 we should be ok, if the USCIS does a good of not waisting visas by doing their best in the month of Sep. Say we have 6500 * 2 .25 (Family) = 15000people waiting from EB2 2004. Looking at the spillover numbers from last year, we might be lucky enough. Just trying to be optimistic for the next 35 days.

For all those who commented in negative. 1. Its posted in Interesting topics section. GC, E2/E3 predictions,H1B extension etc is not the only thing left in life. 2. Spelling is a logical/creative thing. Its not cramming words from dictionary. Its an art too. Ever heard of phonetics.

have a nice day.

Are you quite sure it is a logical creative thing ? There are a lot of words which are pronounced quite differently from the way they are spelled ... unless you know the word ( by cramming ) you would not be able to spell it.

Your point 1 has nothing to do with this topic. Was it ever said that GC is the only thing in life by anyone ?

Obviously this is hard work but to what end. How is knowing the spelling of every word in the planet going to help her or anyone for that matter.

Better be a good writer who writes on interesting topics , stories or novels than to be the proof reader for the writer. Who do you think would have a good career - the writer or the proof reader.

Learning how to spell would have taken thousands and thousands of hours . Wouldn't that time be better spent in learning maths or science or arts or a musical instrument or sports or anything that will help her in the future or be personally gratifying for life. I am not sure she will remember half the words 10 years from now just like a engineer doing java programming for 10-15 years would practically remember nothing he learned in college.

My current H1 is expiring soon. My 3 year H1 extension is pending. I had receipt notice but NJ DMV at Wayne refused to accept that. My current License is valid only till the middle of the next month. Any body in the same boat? What shall I do?

This is what the last part of the text says: This suspension will last for 30 days beginning on July 2, 2007 and ending on August 1, 2007. During this timeframe, USCIS will determine whether it is able to process these cases within 15 calendar days of receipt. If so, Premium Processing Service will once again be made available for Form I-140 petitions.

With this rule in effect from july 2nd, what happens to the cases filed before in PP but it is in pending status with an RFE.

I had received RFE on my I-140 on June 1st and replied back on June 6th but there is no update since then from USCIS.

I checked with some folks who have got GCs in the past and they mentioned that FP (2nd time ) is not needed.....unlike the minds of USCIS one's FP doesn't change over his lifetime...that said..if you apply renew EAD u can get FP notice....

But if 15 month rule of FP is correct then very few will get approved as very few have received 2nd FP notice....so I am not sure what is good or bad...we need to know if the folks who had got FP notice had recently renewed their EADs or not.

I am current next month but I rate my odds as 2/98 meaning 2% chance of getting clear.....taking into account RD/ND/transfer/FP all vagaries into account....even Indian monsoon is more predictable.

SoP

Per my attorney and several forums i researched a second FP Is generally sent when your case is about ready to be approved and normally a good sign as they can approve GC and ask for FP after that before sending you cards. However in one forum i found someone posted a DHS release from 2007 describing the FP data is switched to digital storage in a system called BSS and will remain valid for 75 years, thus one theory says that if your first FP was done digitally you may not need second FO and IO can access the results of first FP and approve. But who knows what is true, all of these are speculations. I have not got second FP notice either and my first and only FP happened in Nov 2007.

.............. The actual problem is, the Congress. Lawmakers are the problem. They know everything what is going on. They know that not just desi companies but even larger companies take advantage of the vulnerable part of the society - the immigrants. Inspite of having all the information, the lawmakers deliberately did not add necessary protections for immigrants. And, even if the system becomes more efficient, people who enjoy the gutter will continue to live in the gutter. No laws or protections can help folks like you. Every now and then, just come to forum like these and rant once in a while. That's what you will do. The fact is you do not need better treatment or benefits. You need better therapy to tell you that you can come out of the gutter. ..............

.

Well said. It is the government that forces us to live in this situation. Even for basic needs like drivers license, we need to suffer discrimination and prejudice in this country.

We should be fighting against these injustices rather than fighting among ourselves.

It is very simple. If you ended up with an employer you don't like, plan on moving away from that employer.

I agreee with the spirit of things - that multiple ways of expressing anguish, disgust, frustration is required.

While we have to keep generating funds and doing the lobbying, the frustration of the members must be "used".

Here is my suggestion (and this was mentioned by someone earlier also) - let's send the criss-crossed and blackened photocopies of our degrees, patents, publications etc. to the congress and other authorities as a symbol of how useless these are becoming as we wait for GCs. We can coordinate the event such that everyone's reaches at around the same time.

Again, all I am saying is that we can do multiple things to gain attention and make our point, and these can happen simultaneously with the other activities ongoing at the State chapter level.

It's just bad luck to get that kind of CBP officer. It's upto you to ignore this or escalate it. In my opinion behaviour of CBP officer was wrong. If you want, You can write letter to Commisioner of CBP about the incidence, following is the address : http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/headquarters.xml

That IO must be a knucklehead who just hates "Specific type of people" or someone who does know the f** he is doing. I have entered using AP at Boston. San fran, Seattle and never had problems. Only once they asked me for EAD/a valid H1 petition and that was just a question.

It's been about an year the case has been closed. I can't expunge it for 4 more years. The attorney said it may not be under CMT. I think even though we expunge it, in future where ever we go, if asked that ever got arrested, we need to say YES right?

My attorney says it should be OK.. I am not sure what to be done as you said it all depends on the VO

I am praying god for the silly thing have done and help me in this..

Never repeat a mistake again...

Guys, please help me if any one knew any info...

Thank you very very much!!!

When the VO asks, you would be pretty much justifying why you are "not inadmissible"

Just write down the facts that support your case, and have documents ready (like court disposition, may be a written statement from immigration criminal attorney that your conviction doesnot render you inadmissible).

While i don't know whether you did intentionally, but certain silly things like this can change somebody's life forever. I hope other wouldbe immigrants learn lesson without actually having to go through this personally.

While i have no vested interests, but money to immigration attorney is worth for such things.

Good luck

we have professional lobbyists. and they cost the erath. and that is why we need contributions. as long people "don't believe" we don't succeed. it's up to you, it's your issue as much as mine. professionals cost a lot of money, and this thread is quibbling over 20 and 50 bucks. anyway who is the knight on the white horse coming to rescue us? it's just us buddy, and we have to do our best. i like your analytical thinking. we need you to join in and help. any number of volunteers is less imho...

.....if ppl want to contribute lesser amounts all they need to do is find some like minded friends pooling their resources and making it into a big one time contribution. I have tried to convince some of guys I know over here but to no avail....less said the better...also tried using the charm of a good bottle of scotch to do the job...no good.....but we need to keep trying......bickering will not lead us anywhere....

Big big thanks and congratulations to core team. This is courageuos & selfless work or may I say 'Nishkam Karmayoga'. My second contribution of $100 is on its way.

What if USCIS doesnt return the applications , and releases a press note ,s aying that all applications are being accepted , but they would be processed later (not approving EAD and AP). That would be creating more havoc in our lives.

I personally feel a very likelihood of this. After the lawsuit, they can negotiate that all right, we are not going to reject any application becuase it is going to create problem for the customer so we are just going to hold it but will not process until the visa is made available. They can simply kill 2 birds with one stone. Hope they don't ready my post and come up with this idea. ;)

This whole spelling bee thing is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. By any standards, it is pure and simple torture to subject the kids to memorizing thousands of words and their stupid spellings. And what use is that? Have they never heard of something called SPELL-CHECK in Microsoft Word and other email services ?

Or are they afraid that their kid will go to a job interview and someone might ask them to spell the word that no one on the planet ever uses and is only present in the Oxford Dictionary.

Those who subject their kids to such a regimented, rigorous, scripted childhood are preparing a next generation of work-force that would only know how to follow the orders and accept directions.

85 % of the fortune 500 CEOs are not MBAs. And the other 15% that have an MBA, only 3 of the 15 have done MBA from an IVY LEAGUE school.

What that tells you is that too much education and scholarly childhood increases your job security, in that sense that you will never be unemployed, but it decreases the chances that you will be on the top or you will be a billionaire.

The biggest prize goes NOT TO people who can follow directions and know everything, but who can GIVE directions and get things done.

Absolutely true, It is torturing the kids for the aspirations of the parents to be seen in the national TV and for award. It is not the poor kids are not getting the award, it is the parent, especially it is the trend with indians.
